First of all, you need to get ur facts straight.  Ever learn about how the electoral college works here the US. Its outdated from hell, read wikipedia because im not going into it.  But essentially, it worked out where it wasnt a majority that reelected him.  Also, a majority of the public actually doesnt support the war, thats why President Bush now has the lowest approval rating of any American President (at least when they kept count of that), and last i heard it was close to only 30 percent.  

Secondly, another fact I'm going to fix for you.  No, i dont agree with the whole stupid saying "we saved your ass in WWII."  Personally i think its fuckin ignorant, but what exactly happened during WWII?  Did the French Army rise up and defeat the Germans?  No.  The truth of the matter is France was over run in 6 weeks and the French Legionaires in North Africa actually switched sides and fought for the Nazis.  Was it not a little thing called D-day where hundreds of thousands of Allied troops(noticed i said Allied, not American, as we were not the only ones)  invaded at a little place called Normandy in order to help push the Germans back and reclaim Europe.  Yes, I know what happened, I have studied history. 

Thirdly, your just as ignorant as the rest of Americans in that video. You sit there and actually believe its indictitive of what Americans are.  Have you ever been to the US? no, you haven't.  Me on the other hand, I actually have travel all over the world(being a US Service Member, yes, hate on that if you want, I dont care) and actually now go to school for Foreign Affairs and International Relations, and deal with people from all over the world on an Daily basis.  And i will tell you right now, if I went to another country, did the same thing this video did, i could come up with the same results.  All you got to do is ask enough people, and only show those dumbasses in a video, and there you go.  Its the same thing.  In fact, I've have a ton of "WTF moments" with people who happen to be exchange students(i use them as an example because technically they should be the educated lot, oh, and most of the people i work with happen to be Europeans) where they totally didnt know common things, things similar to what was asked in that video.  It happens all around the world.  Ingorance is not secluded to only one state, country, or continent. 

And why the hell would you think coming to this country would get yourself killed or gone to prison?  This is one of the few countries I've been (except Japan, those cops mainly carry big sticks they will not hesitate to fuck your world up with.) to that you dont see police or "paramilitary" police officers walking around on a normal basis with some sort of assault rifle.  In fact, most Americans probably go their entire lives with never seeing an automatic weapon or assault rifle out on the streets. Not to mention, cops here compared to Europe have extremely strict rules on what they can do, while cops in the UK dont have as strict of rules on what they can do (had a friend of mine beat by a Bobby or whatever they call them there, kind of crazy) 

My final thought, is that if your going to bash a country for being filled with morons, try to back it up that you yourself are not an idiot (as you've proven otherwise by bad facts) and bashing a country you've never been to makes you just as ignorant as the people (actual stupid Americans, they are out there, just like every country has some stupid people) you try to hate on. 

EDIT:  His initial election he only won the electoral vote, not majority, my bad, noticed mistake after i reread my post.

 let me be the first person to say"ookaze" you got own and thank you priantino86 I couldn't have said better myself ignorance is disease that is non-gender bias and race bias  

Stof, Ben, CKLMB, Shams please close this thread :s.

I found some British morons too (no offense):
So lack of knowledge is universal.

As an Australian who watches these guys new show (the Chaser's War on Everything) on a weekly basis, i can tell you it only gets better. And some of the stuff they get americans saying is just ludicrous. This week they got a bunch of US citizens to approve the suggestion that all muslims should have to wear name tags, in the same vein as the Jewish star in WWII.

Prlatino86 - I agree with much of what you have to say, and I'm impressed at how much you wrote too.

However one point I will dispute is the rules UK cops have to follow. They really are very strict, more so than many other European countries. And I'm speaking from personal experience of a few run ins with them and a good friend being one as well. They aren't allowed to carry guns, even when the armed police shoot someone it's national news, and they are accountable for every move they make.

My friends force recently worked with some US cops who kept commenting on the differences like that. I've seen my fair share of drunken brawls that got pretty nasty when I've been out at night but the cops never even got close to beating them so I don't know what your friend did.

Only thing they do that pisses people off here is all the speed traps.

I think it's funny... 

I've been in america a few times (my mother works there), and by my experience (and my mother's as a teacher in an atlanta's high school) is this:

In general, Americans have a lower level of education than Europe (my mother has been working 4 years, and maybe she will move there). I said, in general, and there is not so much difference. ¿Why? Educational system is different. In europe it's more "social". In general, high level education is free (a public university in spain costs 700€ a year),  and a higher percentage of people goes to college. In school, we don't have things like bowling as subjets (my mother's high school has it). All of them are "more" serius, whatever we want to be in the future.

In america education is more... i don't know the english word... more... elite. I mean, bright or rich students get an awesome high level formation, the rest get nearly nothing. Here it's different, we all get nearly the same (this, of course, has it's flaws, as the better students don't get what they deserve). 

 My mother has brought some american students to spain for exchange and some things were just as hilarious as this video, seriously! (if you ask me later, maybe I'd tell you some of them). 

With this said... This video could be from anywere... In fact, in a spanish TV program they showed once some people who didn't even know who was our presindent... they tought it was another one (of another party!). You can find dumb people anywere, anytime.

France is no exception (I've in france for 20 days this summer). For example, I had to cover my nose in the subway, as no one seemed to had a shower in the morning (and this does not happen in america!!).

And well, ookaze... your government said "no" to war, but it wasn't for the greater good of humanity... it was because you had interests there. "Surprisingly", the two countries who had the voice against the war, Germany and  France, benefitted from the iraqui fuel... oh... surprise!

 Here in Spain, we were against the war, nearly 90% of the people, we marched against it, with huge manifestations (about 2 million people only in Madrid), but our government supported it, because our president was as stupid as G.W. Bush is. Maybe americans are getting the same as we got. If you don't like the political parties of your country, you don't vote. In america, only 50% of people voted, and of them 53% voted Bush... This is  a total of 26,5% of american people supporting bush... You can't say "this is what america wanted" "this is what america believes".

You don't need a high degree career to have common sense,  and many of the people I met there (in America), didn't support bush, the war, or many of the things they see. They were good people, no way as dangerous as ookaze says. Open and well humoured. And yes, I've seen much more cops here in spain (or france), than in atlanta or new york. In fact, at least in spain, if we could have guns, I assure you there would be a criminal ratio higher than NY's bronx

In my opinion, the only thing europeans tend to see the USA as "dangerous ignorants" is because their army is greater than ours... and we, europeans, as we are in possession of our "superior moral code", don't like it (call it envy)

This is only my opinion, I could be wrong.
